Hoping to make it this year, it has been a while.

You could try posting a "Lost/Reward" advertisment on Kijiji or the local F@cebook Marketplace. Of course beware the scammers that will invariably reply looking for the $$

Good luck!

Paco, just had to say when I saw your avatar thumbnail I thought " My what a large sporran...." Needs must get my eyes checked!

I was wondering about the book just this weekend. I think it would be a shame if it never got to see light of day.

I would also gladly purchase a digital format. Maybe taking pre-orders...

Welll, I guess this answers my question from the thread of the completed mink sporran.

Very nice job on this and the targe.

Richard, when I got married we had a piper, highland dancers and a djembe player.

Steve, you may well be right. It was some war movie which I haven't seen. I was playing it at work and one of...

Craigslist, ebay and etsy can be a good source if you are patient and careful. I got my 8 yd Maple Leaf made by Burnetts and Struth on Kijiji (Canadian Craigslist ) for about half of the new...

I think I would likely be a fan. One can never be too sure, of course, but generally I like the shaping of it and I like tartan...sooooo.

I could see where trying to get each seam to line up...

Oh, I do like that!

I have binge watched several of his sessions. I get a kick out of his guest performers. I saw him several times one week at Celtic Colours and really enjoyed his shows. For those who don't know he...

According to the register the only restrictions are the weaver (Lochcarron). It does state the tartan is owned by Rosemary Nicolson...

Picture link says YOU NEED PERMISSION. It then says to ask for permission or switch to an account that has permission.

Was just listening to an short piece by Julie Fowlis where she compares the loss of the Gaelic (both Irish and Scots) to the quote (from Ray Bradbury?) 'You don't have to burn books to destroy a...

I was unaware of this until just this week this video came up in my suggested videos on youtube.

Ohhhh, you are good !
I think a Belting of Plaids if they were wearing great kilts, otherwise a Looming of Tartans takes the cake.

A Kluster of Kilters?

An eXample of Xmarkers?

A Plenty of Plaids?

A Swath of Swish?

I was hoping that it wasn't a poodle sporran.....

Thanks for the extra pics. I like the belted plaids down with the extra swing. Historically accurate or not it is likely the neatest pleats, waist and aprons I have seen in this style.

Oddly...

jthk,

The pleats loo really good for such a garment. I would be interested in a pic or two , front and back, of it off the shoulder and tied about the waist.

Saw your post of this on FB.

Still jealous. From what I have seen she seems very authentic in her performances.

I have recently started following a few FB groups centered around the...
